Calibre Systems hires a new chief technology officer that formerly held the same role at Science Applications International Corp.

Calibre Systems has hired its new chief technology officer in Charles Onstott, formerly CTO at Science Applications International Corp. and a 27-year veteran of that company.

Onstott will work with Calibre’s growth team and operations divisions on identifying opportunities and risks in delivering IT services to customers, Calibre said Thursday.

His other areas of responsibilities include identifying areas of innovation, assessing market trends and overcoming technical hurdles to the employee-owned company’s success.

During his four years as SAIC’s CTO, Onstott built and led IT service organizations in managed services and other key technology areas for major clients in the public sector and certain commercial markets.

"New technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, augmented reality and virtual reality, Internet of Things, and next generation cybersecurity can be game changers for securely improving mission effectiveness and efficiencies while providing outstanding citizen and employee experiences," Onstott said in a release.

Onstott has been interviewed for three episodes of our Project 38 podcast on changes in the overall technology landscape and what they mean for the federal government.
